Sukkot is the Jewish holiday that commemorates how protective "Clouds of Glory" surrounded the Jewish people after leaving Egypt during the forty years of wandering in the desert. It also commemorates how the Jews lived in temporary dwellings during that same time. Sukkot begins Wednesday night, Sepetmber 22, 2010.

What is the Hebrew date of the first day of Sukkot ? What is another name for the Sukkot holiday ? What does Sukkot commemorate ? What is the minimum area of a Sukkah as defined in the Talmud ? What is the maximum height of a Sukkah ? What does the Aramaic word "Ushpizin" mean ? Who gets called to the Torah reading on Simchat Torah ?

The above questions are examples from the multiple choice Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings. Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable.

Whether you need a picture for your child's class project, a graphic for your synagogue, Hillel or JCC Sukkot announcement, the Jewish Clipart Database has the pictures for you. You can copy, save and print the graphics in three different sizes.

To learn more about Sukkot, I posted on my website 58 site links, ranging from from laws and customs to games and recipes. Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German and Italian.
